    I work as a volunteer (志愿者) for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week, hoping to   16   him.

    Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and   17  . For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too   18   for a 17-year-old. Then, on day three, as we were   19   over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned (咧嘴笑),“Pretty hard.”

    After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sizes   20   large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized (着迷). He couldn’t stop   21  . Later he said   22  , “I wish I could speak French.” I was   23   — this from a boy who hated and   24   French classes throughout school.

    Usually silent, he   25   Gaby, our host, and kept asking questions about the country and its people. He blossomed (活泼起来).

      26  , the moment that really took   27   breath away occurred in a village deep in the mountains. I was   28   a woman villager for an article. 135 centimeters tall, she was small in figure but strong in   29  . Through determination, she had learned to read and write, and   30   to become part of the leadership of the   31   .

   Learning her story, Barrett was as   32   as I by this tiny woman’s achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a   33   of love and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work .

   When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay   34   as a volunteer. My insides suddenly felt struck. This   35   achieved all I’d expected. Soon he will celebrate his 18th birthday. He’ll be a man.
